Re: Re: Brother Michael Augustine O’Riordan

Some shots of the interior of the Pantheon showing the High Altar, an arch flanked by two side altars all linked by a continuing cornice. While the High Altar has corinthian columns, the entrance opposite is framed by two side altars between corinthian pilasters.[/QUOTE

Ugh who would be bothered visiting it with all those crowds, which I’m sure are perpetual.

What a lovely group O’Riordan’ churches are, particularly Kinsale, with it’s quite brilliant plasterwork, -pity the altar has been opened up. These churches were built on the pennys of the poor- In contemporary times, the church is flooded with cash and instead of finishing the work started by previous generations- completing the decoration schemes, adding the plasterwork so grossly missing from most of the buildings, furnishing them with quality sculptures and paintings, and in general embellishing them- what do we do? We leave them in the hands of imbeciles to use as arts and crafts projects.

Are there any known O’Riordan churches in the South East?
